Excerpt from How to Harvest Ice Three quarters of a century spans the commercial development of the natural ice industry. Once an article of luxury and used in small quantities it is now one of the most important of every day necessities. In its annual harvest and distribution it requires an investment of millions of dollars and the services of hundreds of thousands of men. Extending over that entire period we have been affiliated with the iceman in all parts of the country. In no small degree his hardship and failures, as well as his prosperity, have been shared by us. With such a common interest between us, co-operation has naturally resulted and where improved tools and apparatus could be used to advantage we have always worked toward increasing the productiveness of his labor. On account of this familiarity with the methods employed in different parts of the country we each year receive many letters asking for advice. Some of these inquires, as may be expected, are from those unacquainted with the ice business. To furnish the information desired in full and yet concise form, this pamphlet was first issued over thirty years ago. The present enlarged edition indicates some of the many improvements which have taken place during that time.
